Before buying your stylish modern storage or get ready for you move to another house, make sure you have slimmed down your possessions to the essentials. There are a number of ways to do this:
1) Sell your surplus
We may well buy stuff we never got around to wearing or have equipment we don’t use any more (how many people still use their tent and camping gear once the children are grown up?) or have collected something for years and now have decided we want to do something else. You can sell your things like many other people on online shopping or trading sites such as eBay. You can take your items with some value to a local auction house, though it is worth having a collection valued and advice take before you sell.
2) Recycle your surplus
There are a number of online sites where you can advertise your things for swapping or for free collection- take a grip and don’t acquire more than you get rid of. Take goods to your local charity shops that will be very grateful for good quality goods and remember that other people will benefit from your gifts. Similarly you can take furniture and clothes to your local charity providing for the homeless- they will often come to collect your furniture, (though our local one won’t take furniture without a fire safety tag.) Things that are obsolete or broken should still be sorted for recycling at your local recycling centre – old computers or electronic goods will be recycled separately as will old batteries etc.
Anything you have left after this pruning will be possessions for which you will need suitable storage
